They are all useless when you can spam roll. It takes less than 1.5s to roll twice. All I want is a 1s or 2s cd on roll.

Roll is fine like it is..... they canīt do anything to you and you are able to still damage them (usually free kills).

Keep thinking that. It needs a CD or a shard resource like stamina that goes for jumping AND rolling.

EDIT

Absolutely not. You can't shoot or reload while rolling. .taking good use of roll is one of your best defences. Now jumping in PvP that is another story.

Seriously, just let them spam it.... theyīre all together "free kills". Rolling is absolutly not effective in any fight. Everyone just uses it to remove debuffs or roll only once to get into a cover and they have a downside by doing that: "they canīt shoot or reload".
Everytime someone rolls around i feel like this:

I have to agree that with the OP on this one, it's not so much the aiming that is the issue as much as the 'Wtf we were just fighting now suddenly he's spam rolling all over the place...' and though you might think it an easy kill, try taking someone down from a fair distance with a sniper when they are proving mortal kombats theory that back-flips and rolling are totally viable methods of transportation over distances long and short. x3

I have played more FPS than MMOs. You also seem to forget that I never said I have trouble killing people that roll constantly. Rolling makes DoT and debuff almost useless in PvP because you can just spam roll and clear it all. You are just bringing your e-peen into this now.

Why run around our crouch when you can just roll everywhere?

It doesnt make DoTs useless at all.... you take him out of fight because he decided to roll instead of fighting so he take less damage from the DoT, but he canīt damage anyone else during his rolling while you still can damage him.
Is it realy so hard to understand?

And if you want to roll everywhere.... well, good luck with that.... i prefer running so iīm able to fight.

Take him out of the fight? 1 roll barely takes 1 second and if they have blur its even more useless.

You can't shoot while running either.

because it seems like you play an absolutly different game if you can remove DoTs in PvP with only one roll (it takes 3-4 btw because each roll only shortens the time of the DoT) and you canīt shoot while running!?

same if you wait some seconds before rolling, then itīs possible too, that it only takes 2 rolls.

I like it the way it is. Jumping and rolling are fine, just practice a method to combat this tactic. This game is all about skill and one of the things to adapt to is an enemy jumping or rolling. If it is so common place then it shouldnt be too hard to predict what the player you are facing is going to do and you should be able to take measures to be able to hit them.

Rolling is fine.

Adding a cool down would create more problems then it solves, without the ability to roll all that would happen is constant sniping or rocket spam and people would no longer be able to avoid it. Personally I'd rather see people rolling about then having everyone spamming tar effect weapons to make it a slow motion fighting.

Bluntski

My point is that roll makes DoTs useless. I played a ton of shadow war's last night and it takes 2 rolls to clear EVERY dot/affliction excluding snare. Elemental procs are almost useless with roll being spammable, not once was I threatened by dot's or afflictions. By giving roll a resource pool it would force people to use rolls more conservatively so if they waste 3 rolls on getting to cover then they would be vulnerable to a dot and vice versa.

Spamming roll does nothing for players offensively(I've killed people in mid-roll lol), defensively on the other hand, it stops fire DoT effects(I haven't been hit with poison DoT in PvP yet, surprisingly) and it's a good way to dodge rocket and grenade splash damage. Think about it, let's say roll had a one second cooldown and your going toe-to-toe with a player who has one of those rockets that explode on impact and release several small grenades, sure you can dodge the initial rocket, oh but what about those small grenades? BOOM!! Another kill for the red/blue team. Roll is perfectly fine.

Except you that it makes elemental procs useless aside from snare. That is my point.

1 roll for Acid, 2 rolls for Fire, 3 for Infectors, ? for Snares, ? for EMP. Not sure whether you can "roll out" of an EMP effect, though. I know you can roll out of a Snare, however. I think it's 3 for Snares, if I had to guess.

I tested this with every effect last night. It's 2 rolls for everything but flash and snare it seems. 1.5s of rolling clears dots making them pretty much useless unless the person doesn't know to roll twice. This just emphasizes the use of weapons that need the least amount of shots (ie sniper and shotty). There is almost no reason to use elemental dot effects or a pyro grenade when you can just roll twice and clear the effect. Granted, my testing was far from extensive so please correct me if this isn't the case.

I would like to see either a cooldown, resource pool or increased amount of rolls to clear dots.

Edit:

It would be nice if a dev could comment on how roll should be functioning in regards to clearing status effects.

mimneotic

04-04-2013, 08:45 AM

I'm not entirely sure about whether or not I was completely correct in my own response. But, I will however do you the favor of pointing out that elemental effects (including the Infector DoT) are FAR from useless. Sure, you can argue and say "but you can just roll out of them", but those are seconds that you can't do anything besides rolling. Against an infector, you're just going to get a new DoT applied to you. Against anything else in the hands of someone even remotely accurate, well. Enjoy eating the rest of their clip while you roll around on the ground.

I giggle every time someone starts rolling around mid-fight because of my infector DoT. "Haha, cleansed that one!", and I go "Well go ahead and cleanse the three new layers I just planted on your face, huehue".

*edit

Rolls still do not need a cooldown. They are far from an issue in PvP. You trade your entire ability to fight back for a less predictable way of moving around (and a way to cleanse DoTs off of yourself). It's totally fair.

Slay

Is your argument against rolls or is your argument shifting to DoTs? I bet they could disable rolling removing DoTs, but you need to start another thread for that. You keep defending your case against us, and ask for our opinions then change your initial post, which was only meant for putting a cooldown on the roll. Next time think out your thread and give more information to prevent the flame and construct quality opinions, with an initial post this vague and your answers being ambiguous not answering anything without further replies and qualitative data projection over your posts, I'm inclined to believe you're more mad over your DoT not working and you're probably the type who is stupid enough to go tryhard mlg pro on an mmo with bugs on the first couple of days in the release, expecting a polished game without testing high load servers until now. Also I would like to say using a Bio Blast in PvP is not a problem, infact I think anyone who uses them shouldn't be allowed to roll, but those who do use them at the moment are pretty stupid. Get a higher understanding of PvP first so you can back up the claims people keep throwing out, as well explain your topic more in the initial post and don't switch your ideals half way through the thread.

Bluntski

04-04-2013, 08:55 AM

What?

My argument is about spamming rolls to remove DoTs hence putting it on a cooldown, but thanks for being condescending and calling me names. My opinion is pretty clear if you read all of my replies. I have backed up my claims as well.

I stopped using DoTs as soon as I saw how fast you can roll twice and clear it so I guess I am "mad". The argument that "well they can't do anything while rolling" is kind of moot because 2 rolls takes under 2 seconds to preform and if you use blur there is no way they will re-apply them, not to mention TTK is already low anyways. I have died from DoTs once my entire time PvPing.

The rolling animation is actually quite long to go through making you extremely vulnerable and especially at the END of the animation where the character model gets back up on his/her feet again. Furthermore you can not shoot while doing this animation, nor can you reload. I, having played Unreal Tournament quite a bit, would find buffing the roll agreeable. I digress. Any sort of nerfing for this movement option is completely unnecessary for its usefulness is already hampered by the aforementioned items.

Your opinions and ideas were solid and written in a polite manner, yet you got spammed by kids like Slay.
I actually think those people who defend the roll move so bluntly are in fact the ones that abuse it.

To the Point -
I fully support a resource pool or just completely removing the "dot removal" mechanic from dodge.
It's a cheesy mechanic with a lot of room to abuse.
